you of my capacity TO master difficulties.
You know also that our home is humble,
but you will for that reason appreciate the
efforts | have used to besutify it. l know
you to be model guest who readily falls
I into the ways of household, so there is no
necessity of making any change in our
mode Of life, or you have the good sense
! to accommodate yourself to the hours
and habits established in the family. l
have just returned from a peep at the
| pretty bedroom have prepared for you,
| which only needs the presence of life in
it to complete picture of coZiness. AS
| the mornings and evenings are cool, there
is fire ready to light in the CRATE,
/ that will be brightly burning when you
/ get here. There is nothing more chilling
| than to be ushercd into q cold room after
a iatiguing' journey. l found in one of
my shopping excursions some pretty
| Madras muslin costing % cents per yard
The ground is cream color with quaint
I design IL darker colors of flowers and
| BIRDS. This | have used for curtains,
/ looping back with ribbon. On the floor
! is an Indian mating, and for a rug there
( is bear skin, a trophy of Theo's western
| trip. Having no bathroom, from a clothes
| horse | eliminated a needed screen by
| painting it black and mailing lightly from
! top to bottom piece Of pretty blue and
white CretOnne, thus shutting out the ar
ticles of the toilette. l have not omitted
/ in this department to furnish, with
| sp0Dges, soap, towels and delicate per-
fumes, few of the simple remedies, tie
want of which often causes a sleepess
night. You remember, doubtless, my
decorative fancies. In your room have
limited myself to stretching width
of Turkey red cotton above
the martelpiece and the length
of it, which l have painted
in memory of strolls through woods and
shaded glens the white dogwood bios
SONS, with fitting yellow butterflies. A
shelf above this has few bits OF choice
old china, and some other curios, our
old sea-captafn kipsman brought from
lourDeyings in the ancient. A mantel
scarf of plain red velvet is on the top, and
the two side pieces of blue finish, tn e
decoration. A corner table on which there
is laid few selected books, tiny work
box, and small desk complete the ar
rangement for any necessity that may
arise, or q weary waiting to be averted.
The only piece Of extravaganza you can
charge me with;isithe bed. That is luxuri-
ant | admit. The cover is, however, the
gift of our mother, and is reserved for
state occasions. You know pillow shsms
are thing # the past, pillows now be-
ing placed in the position in
which they are used, and a thin
soft coverlet is spread over all. This one
Is OF Cream-white china silk with fine
blue tIacery vine over it, and on the left
hand corner pretty bow of ribbon. As
draw up the easy chair in front of the
CRATE and give the curtains little pull,
that they may fall more gracefully, l grow
impatient for your coming, and long to
see your look of warm approval, so do
not delay. l have arranged for luncheon
as soon as you are rested, for your many
girl friends are anxious to meet you.
Leave your cares behind you, and re-
member you are not company, but one of
US, whose coming will cause no lar or
strain, ana that you will be comfort not
q care to your Old-time friend.
